Abstract

ABSTRACT While contests and conflicts are well recognized in heritage research, analysis of the specific circumstances and dilemmas that individuals and groups face when pursuing heritage goals and partaking in heritage contests can benefit from further methodological work. This paper presents a case and method for incorporating concepts from an emerging interactionist perspective on social movements into heritage research in order to better conceptualize and analyze the interactions and processes through which collective identity and heritage is co-produced. We examine the political and interpretive processes at the heart of heritage research, consider areas in which the language and concepts of social movements addresses existing gaps and disagreements, and identify a set of questions that will open new perspectives on heritage movements and contests. We apply these questions to a heritage contest over the World Heritage site of Pasargadae in Iran, emphasizing how heritage activists advanced their perspectives and claims, eventually leading to the incorporation of Iran’s pre-Islamic heritage within the official Islamic republic discourse.

遗产竞赛:我们能从社会运动中学到什么?

摘要在遗产研究中，竞赛和冲突是公认的，但分析个人和群体在追求遗产目标和参与遗产竞赛时所面临的具体情况和困境，可以从进一步的方法论工作中受益。本文提出了一个案例和方法，将新兴的社会运动互动主义的概念纳入遗产研究，以便更好地概念化和分析集体身份和遗产共同产生的互动和过程。我们考察了遗产研究核心的政治和解释过程，考虑了社会运动的语言和概念解决现有差距和分歧的领域，并确定了一系列问题，这些问题将为遗产运动和竞争开辟新的视角。我们将这些问题应用到伊朗帕萨尔加德世界遗产遗址的遗产竞赛中，强调遗产活动家如何提出他们的观点和主张，最终导致伊朗前伊斯兰遗产纳入官方伊斯兰共和国话语。

期刊介绍： Heritage & Society is a global, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholarly, professional, and community reflection on the cultural, political, and economic impacts of heritage on contemporary society. We seek to examine the current social roles of collective memory, historic preservation, cultural resource management, public interpretation, cultural preservation and revitalization, sites of conscience, diasporic heritage, education, legal/legislative developments, cultural heritage ethics, and central heritage concepts such as authenticity, significance, and value. The journal provides an engaging forum about tangible and intangible heritage for those who work with international and governmental organizations, academic institutions, private heritage consulting and CRM firms, and local, associated, and indigenous communities. With a special emphasis on social science approaches and an international perspective, the journal will facilitate lively, critical discussion and dissemination of practical data among heritage professionals, planners, policymakers, and community leaders.
